Abstract

Literature is an effort to emulate a fact in the fictional and imaginative forms of writing, especially poetry. The typical of poem is in its unity both semantically and formally. Besides, the poem also telling something unreal and has philosophical implication, such as death. In one hand, death means permanent end, loosing something and the end of life, but in other hand, in poetry, death means in different way like Kipling’s The Gift of Sea poem. The Gift of the Sea poem is telling the story about how is death and the afterlife. Then, this research attempt to find the significance of the death. The importance of this research is because there is the sameness between The Gift of the Sea Poem and the Surah Alqiyamah (3-4), that death is the beginning of life and getting something. To find the significance, the poem should be read intertextually by applying Riffaterre’s semiotics of poetry theory. By reading heuristically and hermeneutically, this research demonstrates the significance of the poem. The meaning of the poem comes from the matrix. The matrix in The Gift of Sea poem is the lamentation from the widow to the sea to let her child started life in afterlife. Furthermore, the hypogram of The Gift of Sea poem is Frank Bramley’s painting entitled A Hopeless Dawn.
